Needs twins to be a GT-R, or be like Advan and put twins in a GTS-4, and put GT-R guards on it. GT-R with sunroof lol.

He argued that till he was blue in the face and went quiet after I hit him with “does the Japanese vin start with bcnr33?”

This is genius 

Then all the GT-R boys can do single turbo conversions and pop in NEO blocks to be GTS-4s.

@r32-25t you going to redo the engine loom too? I'm tempted at the moment as well. I stripped back the OEM loom and it's still good so kind of feels like a waste.

Yeah I will be replacing the engine harness, just look at it being almost 30yrs old and it’s out at the moment so may as well

Injector have been changed twice and turbos 3 times 

at least I’m not the mack daddy of the 80k rust bucket 

850s

1000s

1250s

Then 1650s

come on Brett… I thought you did the maths, & do it once and do it right?

I’ll stick with my Mack daddy “rust bucket” thanks, at least it has a blue plate 😂😂😂

I’ve never had 850s 

building cars is a journey and one I’m happy I took because I enjoy working on my car not writing cheques for other people to do it. 
 

so unless you actually have anything useful to say I’d appreciate if you troll other parts of the forum, like I give you to the courtesy of staying out of your threads

Going a new OEM one or custom and deleting the crap you don't need like the AFM wiring?

AFM wiring actually turns out to be perfect for wiring in an EMAP sensor.

Going to grab the wiring specialties one and remove the wires I don’t require and replace them with ones that I do need ie. Load cell and pressure sensors a

Because of needing the bay to go back to bare metal the shop tried to use stripper to remove the paint and because it wouldn’t remove the undercoat it was decided blasting is the only option.

blasting is booked and so is the tow truck

Somehow, it finds a way to escalate 🤪

There’s always these little things you never expect but I’d rather just do it and end up with a perfect job 

Yep, I said the same, and now 5k in parts later 🤔

The parts I’d really like to buy is the brake lines, Nismo heritage have some of them but according to their pictures they don’t have the complete abs versions. 
 

they have the lines that go from the master to the pump but don’t have the ones that go from the pump to the left and right fronts or the one that goes from the pump to the rear. And nissan in their wisdom made both abs and non abs lines the same part numbers despite them being completely different shapes and sizes

No, all the brake lines are available from Nismo for front and rear and the abs and non abs pipes are not the same part numbers. We replaced both the ABS fronts from ABS pump on the white 32 recently as someone had made some pretty average replacements. For example front left ABS ones are 46242-RHR21 (old part 46242-04U00) and non abs for left is 46242-RHR20 (old part 46242-01U10).

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
